Editors' Review

Fotor provides you with a nice set of tools that you can use to edit your photos singly or in batches, and create collages for all occasions. Whether you frequently edit photos on your computer or you're new to the process, this app gives you everything you need to get started.

Pros

Lots of tools: When it comes to editing images, there's not much you can't do with this program. There is a nice array of editing tools that lets you adjust contrast, brightness, lighting source, and more. The long list of effects can each be applied to varying degrees according to a sliding scale, and each adjustment you make shows up almost instantly. As you're working, you can compare your photo's current state to the original at any time. And you can undo all changes and start over whenever you need to.

Direct sharing: You can share your photos straight from this app. Just choose whether you want to post to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter, and let the software do the rest.

Cons

No drag and drop: One missing feature that would be a nice addition is a drag-and-drop option for adding photos or folders to the app. Instead, you have to go through menus and browse files from your computer to get your photos into the program.

Bottom Line

Fotor is a smooth and efficient photo editing program with lots of powerful features to help you make your images look just the way you want them to. And since it's free, it's worth trying out even if you're not sure how often you'll use it.

I have used picasa web and Microsoft, Fotor's colour rendition is vibrant. It makes my poorly taken photos stand out.

Cons

I usually work on each photo at a time, instead of batches. It's very irritating that I need to search for the next photo in my folder to work on. Unlike Picasa and Microsoft, they provide a next button to click for the next photo.

The look or UI is absolutely beautiful - the charcoal grey really makes your images stand out. Navigating was easy. There are plenty of ways to add various filters to your image that produce beautiful photo's. It has all the standard features you would expect: cropping, resizing, exposure, contrast and so on. It too has advanced features along with Batch editing and creating collages. Uploading photos for editing is as simple as it gets.

Cons

There are not enough 'Undo/Redo' options except in the adjustments area: When adding various filters or layers, that's where this feature, that ought to really be there, isn't.

Summary

It is a joy to work with Fotor. It is easy to navigate and creates beautiful images. Batch edit is useful as is the option to create collages. I was very pleased with its visual appearence but the 'undo/redo' element needs to be adressed, though filters can be set to 'None', but when working with layers, it proves difficult which one to remove 'if' at all they can be. Overall though, it's very pleasing and very satisfactory.
